Details

Enduro means pedaling up climbs, then charging hard and getting rowdy on the downs; Specialized's Enduro Expert Carbon 650B is tailor made to do just that. This ride shreds trail with a 160mm Pike RC fork up front and 165mm of rear travel deftly handled by a DB Air Inline shock. When it's time to climb back up and do it again, a FACT carbon mainframe and FSR rear suspension boasts a huge amount of traction paired with efficiency. Like all longer-travel bikes should, the Expert has a remote-actuated Command Post dropper post and 2.3-inch wide, tubeless tires so you can ease off the SRAM Guide RS brakes and let the properly wide Roval Traverse wheels trounce terra firma. With or without gravity's assistance, a pro-level SRAM X01 11-speed drivetrain lays down your power and the big, red S's own bar, stem, and renowned saddle continue the enduro theme perfectly.
